➖ Recipe ➖
Ingredients –
Chicken & Seasoning –
1 Tbsp (20ml) – Olive Oil
1kg (2.2lb) – Chicken Thigh, Large Diced
1 tsp (4g) – Onion Powder
1 tsp (4g) – Garlic Powder
1 tsp (4g) – Smoked Paprika
1/4 tsp (1g) – Chilli Powder
Salt & Pepper
Bang Bang Sauce –
2/3 Cup (180g) – Low Fat Mayonnaise
1/2 Cup (125ml) – Sweet Chilli Sauce
1/4 Cup (60g) – Sriracha Mayonnaise
1 – Lime, Zest & Juiced
Pickled Carrot & Cucumber –
1 – Lebanese Cucumber
1 – Carrot, Peeled
1/2 Cup (125ml) – White Vinegar
1/4 Cup (60ml) – Water
2 tsp – Sugar (Optional)
Jasmine Rice –
300g (10.5oz) – Jasmine Rice, Washed
500g (500ml) – Cold Water
Salt To Taste
Aromatics (Optional)
Garnish & Toppings –
Coriander (Cilantro)
Lime Wedges
1/4 – Avocado (Per Container)
Black & White Sesame Seeds
Wooden Skewers
Method –
Soak wooden skewers in water 20 minutes before cooking. This will prevent them from burning.
Add the vinegar, water, and sugar to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, put the carrot and cucumber in a jar, and pour over the pickling liquid. Cover with a lid and refrigerate until cold.
Place a saucepan over high heat. Add in the rice, water, salt and optional aromatics. Mix to combine to prevent clumps and bring to a boil. Place on a lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, leave the lid on for 4 minutes, and then remove the aromatics and fluff with a fork. Set aside until ready to serve.
Add all the bang bang sauce ingredients to a bowl and combine. Divide the sauce into two bowls. Set 1 bowl aside for serving. Don’t use this bowl to cook the chicken.
Add all the chicken and seasoning ingredients to a bowl and combine. Thread onto soaked wooden skewers. Brush half of the reserved bang bang sauce over the chicken, place it in the air fryer set at 200.c -390.f, and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the chicken and brush over the remaining bang bang sauce. Air fry for 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
Serve all the elements of the dish across 5x 750ml containers. Starting with the rice, bang bang chicken that can be removed from the skewers, top with pickled carrot, cucumber, and avocado. Garnish with black and white sesame seeds and the reserved bang bang sauce. Dig in.
Store in the fridge for 3-4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Could you do some meal prep recipes where we wouldn't need to reheat food to enjoy it? My workplace microwave sucks and I only get a 20 minute lunch and don't want to spend half that time attempting to heat up my food 🙁
I just made those yesterday, my absolute favorite go to meal these days 🤤 that bang bang sauce is the game changer 🤤🤤🤤
Love the recipe Jack! I just have a quick question about the brined veggies. How long can they last in the fridge? And if you leave them for a coupe of days, would the flavor be too acidic? Thanks!
Question why don't u use a rice cooker?
When making the pickles do you add water to dilute the strength of the vinegar (personally I like strong pickles) or is there another reason for it?
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
This one is good!😋
Thanks for doing an air fryer recipe, will try it soon for sure!
Nice recipe. You do a great job with these meal preps and the nutrition cards showing macros etc.
Random question, Do you really use the same chopping board for everything? Do you disinfect or hand wash it between every stage?
great video thank you jack
That looked excellent, but where is the high sodium coming from?
Hi Jack, how can I order you cookbook?
More air fryer recipes, please. This makes cooking so easier.
If you wanted to use chicken breasts instead of thighs, would the air fryer settings be the same or would they change? This recipe looks so delish! Thanks so much!!
Guess what I received today? Yesssss your cookbook it’s fantastic it’s really nice Jack. It’s the first cookbook I’ve purchased my others are all hand me downs I love your cookbook makes me feel kinda spesh aww shucks. 😅. Congratulations Jack so happy for you mate. YAYYYYYY!!!
Love this recipe when hubby comes in Friday I’ll surprise him with this one. Thanks Chef. 😊
I'm so cooking this!!
As usual, this looks great! Got my 'Dig In' cookbook. It's awesome!! Can hardly wait to start creating the recipes!! 😊
This looks fire
You are a legend for doing the airfryer suggestion mate! Love your work
This looks awesome!
Please, please don't stop whispering when you do the "20 cracks worth" My daughter loves it every time we watch your videos. Great work man, we love your channel and loving the new recipe card thingys. I can screen shot them every time I go shopping. Jack, how long would you reheat in a microwave for please?
For Youtube Algorithm
Just made this (normal dinner). Amazing flavors and so easy to make. Just put the chicken on a tray in a normal oven. Was done after only 8 minutes (checked with instant read thermometer). Thanks chef!! Definitely making this again.
so… if i dont got that fancy air fryer… what are the settings for an oven? is it the same? i dont really know if an air fryer works that different from an oven
Are those Luvele containers the 1.3L or the 2.5L ones?
Thank you for all your prep meals recepts, they are incredible. If possible, keep the format like this, showing the portion size (weight) when serving. This is gonna help us viewers a lot! Take care.
Can you please make a video on how you like to make crepes?
I made this for dinner with salad absolutely amazing. This is a keeper❤❤
Chef Jack, you've done it again! Would you mind possibly doing some Keto friendly recipes for those of us on a no carb diet? Love the content as always!
new drinking game – take one shot every time Jack says 'BANG BANG' 😀 great meal mate
I'm seeing these bang bang recipes all over now. Just watched one for shrimp and soft shell crab 😂
Gonna try this too! I hope this translates in the oven because I don't have an air fryer lol
I tried this yesterday (just the chicken part) and I'm thrilled at how well it turned out. I didn't use the skewers and it worked just fine. My father is trying to eat better, so I gave him a sample and he loved it. I'm incorporating this recipe into our healthier lifestyle program. Thank you!
Got your book! It arrived yesterday and I am so excited to 'dig in'. Thank you!
Hey Jack what's the link for your neal prep channel? I can't find it anymore? Thanks mate.
Even for your standards, this looks really, really amazing. Can't wait to try it out this weekend!
What I really love about your videos is you showing the cutting techniques.
Who else got their cookbook? 😊
I made this last night and came out sooo good. Thanks Jack!
What brand of mandoline is that?
I’m all over this one Jack! 🤤
Thank you for making meals that have flavor by using seasonings beyond the boring blackpepper and salt. 😊
We made this chicken last night ( the only difference- it was grilled). It was so delicious! Another winner for us, thank you for sharing it here with us!
Dear Chef Ovens, please would you write a book with only meal prep recipes and airfryer recipes for young guys and women who love poke bowls and easy prep meals. I really love your recipes.
I'm hooked on this recipe! I've literally made it 4 times in a row and had it for both lunch and dinner today!
This looks phenomenal, will definitely try this soon
Bro this looks tasty as 🤙 Going to give it roll with weekend
This is how all subjects should be taught, just BRILLIANT ❤
